Wish we could have stayed longer

The property is immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was big enough to fit all 8 of us comfortably and has plenty of room to stretch out. The kids loved the pond. Thanks for your hospitality Jo-Ann and Rob!

Paradise

Such an amazing spot for our first visit to Canada! The pond was a blast! My kiddos loved kayaking/swimming and finding frogs & salamanders. I loved spending time in the balcony and listening to the birds. Our kiddos loved the fire pit and the playhouse in the blueberry garden. Plenty of space for the 4 of us and the bunk beds were a huge hit! Everything was lovely and we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Location - quiet area. Not full home

I stayed here with my Mom, kids, brother and his wife. The suite was beautiful, and we had access to their pond and hot tub. I assumed it would be the full home because I booked through VRBO, but the home owners live upstairs. I slept in the bunk bed room with my kids, but my Mom said it was really loud in her room with people walking around upstairs in the evening and morning. Otherwise stunning location and home.

Lovely property

Lovely property with plenty of comfortable relaxation space inside and out. The owners really tried to cover all our needs. The driveway and walkways are pretty steep, which can be expected on a hillside, so as long as you are prepared for that you will have a wonderful stay.

Wonderful property and house

We had an amazing and memorable stay at Hidden Pond. Jo-Ann was very thoughtful with all the little extras. The home was beautifully decorated and very warm and inviting. The pond area was so tranquil and lush. Our only regret was that it was too short of a stay. Thank you Jo-Ann for making it a memorable stay for a group of school friends celebrating our 60th birthday year.

Wonderful secluded property and swimming pond

We had a great stay here, everything was exactly as we had hoped from the listing and photos. Swimming pond was a definite highlight! The hosts struck a perfect balance between being helpful and available when needed but also very relaxed and not in our way at all. We would definitely return and would recommend this stay to friends and family.

A little piece of paradise

We really enjoyed our stay in the family suite at the hidden pond. The accommodations were beautiful and we were taken back by how much room there was. The amenities were amazing, from the hot tub, to the garden, to the peaceful pond. The fresh baked goods were a lovely touch. Can’t wait to come back and stay at hidden pond again!

Amazing thanksgiving weekend at Hidden Pond

We were a group of 7 friends in town for the Victoria Marathon. We stayed at Hidden Pond and although it was slightly out of town (about 35 mins from downtown Victoria) it was the perfect place to prep before and relax after. We loved the hottub and the relaxing outdoor furniture and large outdoor table where we had a big thanksgiving dinner after the rcae. Rob was super friendly and responsive and the place was huge, clean, and had so many lovely special touches!

Peaceful Retreat

We were so happy to have found this wonderful property. The house is beautiful and it has everything anyone needs to feel comfortable and at home. The pond was amazing and my teenage kids had a blast with the row boat and flamingo. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking to get away and relax. The property owners were very nice and available since day one but we really didn’t need anything because they did such a great job making us feel welcome. The breakfast place they recommended was delicious so please ask them about it! Loved our stay.

From the cookies & muffins and fresh fruit upon arrival to the most spectacular sky gazing at night. Its a wonderful place to take the kids and have them exhausted by the end of their swimming day. I couldn't recommend The hidden Pond more. the hosts are wonderful and so it this gem of a holiday spot! Thank you Jo-Ann & Rob, we'll be back!
